Type-99 Tank, Built With 48,356 Shells, China

A light tank, with a Type 99A2 turret, 105 mm gun, and a small chassis, was also spotted.
Design
The development of the new tank was initiated in the early 1990s during the Gulf War. Western tanks had destroyed numerous Iraqi Soviet-made T-72Ms, and were superior to the most advanced tank design in the PLA at the time: the Type 90 tank. The PLA realised that the Type 90 were still no match for the Western MBT designs such as the Challenger 2 and M1A1, and initiated a project to develop a new, modern main battle tank which eventually resulted in the highly advanced and successful Type 99. The design was based on T-85IIM instead of Type 90 and are somewhat influenced by the Soviet T-80 and the German Leopard 2. Features include sloped turret armor and overall a very low profile turret for increased protection, among others. The driver's compartment is in the front while the fighting compartment lies directly behind it and the engine is installed in the rear.
